Chapter 23: The escort is late
The explosive flames almost pierced through the entire space, rushing straight out of the one hundred and eight layers of passages, gushing out!
At the same time, in the eyes of the people outside the black hole, a flame was formed that surged into the sky, soaring out, and the frightened birds and beasts dispersed in an instant......
The so-called fire and water are ruthless and cannot be avoided.
The scorching flames were followed by billowing smoke.
At this time, the entire space was in shambles, and there were traces of scorching everywhere, and almost none of them were spared.
As the so-called fire passes, not a single grass grows.
At the entrance of the passage, Talos was standing behind Rin, holding Rin with one hand and holding her chest. The other hand reached forward, opening an enchantment that wasn't very large, but large enough to enclose them.
A faint blue light flashed on the barrier, and the array was clearly visible like a relief.
There was sweat hidden on Talos's forehead, and for the first time, a nervous look appeared on his face, which had never been cute and indifferent.
"Are you okay?" After making sure the flames had completely subsided, Talos slowly put away the barrier.
His eyes searched for Rin Rin, and his frowning brows were not relieved for a long time.
"You look like I'm okay! You stupid doll, why, did you find me so late......" Rin said what sounded like blame, but she was scared in her heart, very afraid.
She didn't intend to die heroically in this hellish place just like that. She just gambled again, betting that Talos would be in time before the short gong was thrown and unleashed a deadly amount of damage.
Although she usually talks stupidly, she believes that this usually stupid contract spirit will definitely find herself.
In fact, she herself didn't know why she was so determined, and even gambled with her life.
But she just wanted to trust Talos, and the only time, if she lost, was the last time.
Talos put his hand on Rin before he gradually relaxed.
Suddenly, as if he had touched something, a pair of hands suddenly stopped.
The soft, warm touch lingered in Talos's palm, and he couldn't help but pinch it twice and said, "Rin, your flesh is so soft." ”
“……”
The dignified face turned red at this moment, and the little touch and warmth in my heart disappeared in an instant.
"Talos, you fool!"
He raised his hand and slapped him off, knocking off Talos' hand that was still attached to his lower abdomen.
At this moment, she realized more clearly that this puppet was not only a fool, but also a little bastard!
Rin tugged at the clothes that had been shortened by the fact that she had torn them off. After glancing at Talos in shame, he didn't want to pay attention to him.
The contract mark on her body gradually faded in color, and she still used this power as a last resort.
However, as long as you don't overuse it, it won't put too much burden on your body.
Rin comforted herself like this, and finally had the heart to look at the place again.
If when she came here before, it was a quiet, green crypt. Now that a fire on the scale of a blast has been ignited, it should not be too much to call it ruins now.
She fixed her gaze on the tree that had stood in the center of the space.
Now only the charred shadow of the tree remained, and the girl did not even have the burnt remains left.
Somehow, Rin suddenly felt a little uneasy.
But such an uproar, even if she is a strange spirit, she may not be able to avoid it unscathed.
Even if she really had the ability to block the impact at close range, she wouldn't just disappear out of thin air.
Just when I was puzzled by this, suddenly my feet and even the surroundings suddenly darkened as if someone had suddenly cut off the light source.
Rin Rin panicked, this matter is really not that simple.
In the darkness of the place, Rin suddenly felt that his hand was only being held.
She raised her eyes, and even though she was in the dark, she could also feel Talos's dark green and crimson pupils, which were staring at her at the moment.
The hand subconsciously clenched, although it was so cold, and even revealed the hardness of the doll's material. But somehow, it also made her feel very relieved.
"You've ruined this place like this." A voice came from the darkness.
Rin and Talos poked around, but neither sound nor sight could capture the location of the person hiding in the shadows.
"I won't let you go!" As he spoke, the man hiding in the shadows suddenly let out a roar that was very close, like a beast!
The smell of wine filled the air, and a shadow of light flashed in front of Rin and Talos.
Because there was no light around, they couldn't see clearly.
But through the smell, you can also guess who the visitor is.
Talos suddenly picked Rin up by the waist and leaped to his left. There was a 'bang' where they were standing just now, and a spark exploded.
Immediately afterward, a succession of wine jars came at them from all directions.
In an instant, the fire flickered, but it still couldn't illuminate the endless darkness in their depths.
Talos was unable to perform because he was holding Rin, so he could only dodge.
After a few rounds, Talos seemed to have a rough idea of the man's attack pattern and pattern. After dodging an attack, he suddenly put Rin down and ran in the opposite direction.
He had roughly figured out the dark terrain, summoned the long knife that he had obtained from the alien spirit when he was at the border of the Twilight River, and slashed at it head-on!
"You can't run away—" Talos's cold voice came out leisurely, and at this moment he was no longer as cute and quiet as he usually looked.
The knife fell silently, but it startled the young man who was hiding in the dark.
It took a step back, spitting out a ball of flame from its mouth to fend off.
But how could its power stop Talos.
The wine jar shattered in response, and the young man's arm was heavily slashed, and the blood mixed with the spilled wine, emitting a bloody but strong smell.
Talos's long knife was sharp without a drop of blood, and there seemed to be a murderous flash in his eyes, but it was only for a moment, so fast that it was difficult to notice.
He could have directly understood the guy in front of him who frequently caused trouble for himself and Rin, and even hurt Rin.
But a faint green light flickered in the distance, and then, as if reinstated, several withered vines surrounded the boy and quickly led him to a safe place away from Talos.
The tree, which had been burned like charcoal, suddenly shone with a faint light.
Although the light was not strong, it had already adapted to the dark eyes, and at this moment, it was enough to see the surrounding environment and the current situation clearly.
"Eyrey! You, you're still there? ”
The young man who was taken away by the vine suddenly spoke, and his hands seemed to tremble a little, stroking the withered vines that surrounded him.
There was disbelief in its tone, and a tone that almost came out of tears. Holding the vine, he refused to let go for a long time.
Talos had wanted to go over and get rid of it, as well as the mysterious plant that was supposed to be burned, but suddenly came back to life. But Rin suddenly shouted, "Talos, don't let it stay there, pull it out!" ”
With a cold order, Talos didn't hesitate for a moment, and with a swing of his sword, he slashed through the vines that were still being reborn and attacking him.
Then, almost instantly, under the rhizome of the plant.
The young man in front of him was very small, and after clearing the troublesome vines, Talos took a small animal and bent it under his arm.
And at the moment when Talos took the young man away, the vine that had originally held up the little boy like a treasure was suddenly closed!
Like the giant mouth of a man-eating flower, if it is one step too late, I am afraid that it will be swallowed directly.
But the boy didn't see the scene where he was on the verge of danger, he just struggled, but he couldn't escape the control of Talos.
After all, whether it is height or strength, it is incomparable to Talos.
It was holding back its strength, trying to breathe a ball of fire and force the rude puppet back.
Not wanting to, Talos was expressionless, and put the hilt of the knife across its mouth. It was so frightened that it didn't even dare to breathe for a while, and cold sweat flowed down its head.
Rin Rin watched this scene from a distance, and felt a little funny. Xindao, this Talos usually looks stupid, but he didn't expect to have such a dark side.
"You, you let go of me!"
The young man wanted to resist without giving up, but was punched in the head by Rin Rin's defenselessness, "Don't indulge in impossible fantasies, the Ai Lei in your mouth is already dead, isn't it!" ”
The dignified scolding made the young man stunned suddenly.
It wasn't struggling, it was just thinking about its awe-inspiring anger, overlapping and intertwining with the reality in its memory.
"Nope! Eyrey, she's alive! The boy's gaze suddenly became determined.
Ahead, in the big tree that shimmered with a faint green light. The charred brown-black trunk suddenly cracked a crack, and as the crack expanded, the charred-like bark around it began to peel off layer by layer......
And in the trunk of the tree, the girl who had disappeared was lying in it unscathed.
The tranquil sleeping face, which has no quarrel with the world, seems to be just a light sleep.
As if she had been woken up, the girl slowly opened her eyes and called softly, "Ah Qi......"
The boy's eyelashes seemed to tremble, and he wanted to run over to her arms immediately, but he was grabbed by Rinrin.
"Let go of me!" A teenager named Ah Qi struggled.
Rin didn't care about that, relying on his height advantage, he grabbed Ah Qi's little head and forcibly made it look at the true face of the girl in the trunk.
"Take a good look, is that what you call Elle!"
Inside the trunk of the tree, the girl's posture is as soft as a boneless, although her voice and appearance are no different from ordinary people. But if you look closely, you can see that behind the girl, there seem to be a few tender green shoots running through the body.
The buds were green and somewhat transparent, and you wouldn't notice anything unusual unless you looked closely.
But when the details are discovered, let's look at the girl's facial expressions. At that moment, I will feel from the bottom of my heart that she is like a shell that has been hollowed out and manipulated wantonly.
But Ah Qi shook off his hand, "She's Ai Lei, what do you people outside of Dongman Town know!" ”
It spoke with indignation, and smiled at the girl named Elle. Something flashed in his eyes.
said that it was too late, but I saw Ah Qi suddenly turn around, and a mouthful of flames spewed towards Rin Talos!
